Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments I think this should just be Kai, all of her bookcovers only use Kai.

Correct spelling is D. T. Peterson (the one with a space)."


Not on Goodreads. Goodreads has policies for spelling of author names. See http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/60...

Author name appears as "Eric C. Sinoway" on the front cover of his book.

the_cat | 388 comments Hi
This author has a double entry:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
It was easy to edit a couple of books but I can't merge the bunch of fans because she's a GA.
Fix plz?

Pamela (waterspout) | 207 comments Re: 71

I checked all the books' covers and they're all by S.E. Holmes. I tried adding the author's two profiles to the books but it just accepts the first one written.

Er, why can't it be merged by the way?

Sandra | 31515 comments Pamela, she publishes under both names, as do many other authors. So no merge.

ETA: Well, I thought she used both, looks like she publishes under S.E. Holmes, but refers to herself as SueEllen Holmes everywhere including Smashwords and her GR profile. Very strange.


Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Shelley Coriell is correct author name spelling (shellEy); she posted on another thread that she had a book going to author "Shelly Coriell").

Shelly Coriell profile needs to be deleted.

Ah. I thought the image on her profile was a book cover, but on further investigation that appears not to be the case, and she only publishes as S.E.

Merged profiles.

Publishing both with and w.o the middle name; no merge.

I moved the book from his profile.

Moved some others too. Although Accounting and erotica are sooooo closely linked.
